Get illustration SVG link
get_illustration_svgGet an illustration as SVG - PREFERRED FORMAT for Icons8 illustrations. SVG scales to any size without losing quality. A paid illustration needs a signed-in Icons8 account whose plan covers illustrations; anything with free_distribution: true needs no account at all.
RECOMMENDED: Use this tool instead of PNG when possible for better quality and scalability.
Returns a download URL rather than the file - an illustration's SVG can
be large, and the file size depends on the source, so it is not inlined.
The URL is presigned and expires in one hour - download it now, do not
store it. For a link to keep, use the permanent preview.url in a search
result.
Args: illustration_id: The id from a search_illustrations result ctx: MCP context for API access
Returns:
{"url", "width", "height", "expires_in_seconds"}, or {"error"}
explaining what would unlock the format. Read width/height from
the response for the actual pixel size - it varies by illustration.
Counts toward the paid-download limit: a refusal carries
"retry_after_seconds".
